Pbc will fail because it is not a good product. Plain and simple.

My feeling as well. Simple changes could be made to make this a MUCH better product. I don't know why they haven't bothered with them. How can this look and sound so much worse than Tuesday Night Fights did all those years ago? The matchups have been less than competitive, the ringwalks are comical, and the announcing team is an embarrassment. Sugar Ray (god love him) can hardly pay enough attention to the fight to know what is going on most of the time.

But if PBC is gonna be successful they need to step up the matchmaking.... All these crap matchups aren't exciting anyone, let alone capturing casuals....

This pretty much.

You could not find anyone else on this planet who cares less about this PBC nonsense and all the money involved and the network beef that 99% of you idiots get involved in but one thing that does irk me (I'm from the UK and I couldn't care less about the SHO/HBO BS) is the lack of appealing match ups that Haymon is putting on. This is a chance to reinvigorate boxing in the United States, get the American media talking about it but when the best fights are DeGale v Dirrell and Thurman v Guerrero then you know things are not going the right way.

and this.

Pbc will fail because it is not a good product. Plain and simple.

I don't know if it fails or succeeds, but it's nothing revolutionary, a mediocre product thus far.

Aside from poor matchups, PBC's biggest problem is that its one big mess. I'm a diehard boxing fan and I cant even keep up with who's fighting who on what channel and at what time. They're all over the place. 4-5 different networks showing their fights on different days and at different time slots. If I cant keep up with it how are casuals suppose to?

At least with HBO and Showtime, when there's a fight you know its almost guaranteed to take place on a Sat evening between the hours of 9-10pm for the most part.

I disagree that PBC has "mediocre" fights thus far. Sure maybe next to May-Pac or Wlad-Jennings. But those are premium or PPV fights where the biggest fights always end up. For Network TV and basic cable these are very interesting fights. Haymon is not going to change the economics of boxing in six months.

Really? I mean you can't go to the PBC website? How you follow like the NFL or NBA with about 5-6 outlets on their platform?

I use this to keep up with all the fights around the world:

Your point is valid though, PBC might be spreading itself out too thin too early. Is it necessary to have PBC on NBC/CBS/Spike/ESPN? Surely it could be more streamlined. They need to build a relationship with the casual viewer. That's how I got into Bellator originally, because of how it was structured and it's only shown on Spike. I think PBC needs to focus on building their brand on NBC/Spike/ESPN: NBC primetime for the big fights, Spike for the mid-tier fights, and ESPN for the prospects and FNF-level match-ups. It could probably be even simpler than that, but Haymon has so many fighters that one channel probably wouldn't be enough.

If it wasn't for the fact that I post on this board and follow boxing on the net, I would have probably never caught even one PBC broadcast. I don't subscribe to Spike TV and rarely watch US network television and CBS and NBC Sports channels do not exist here in Canada. I cannot imagine casuals spending any time looking for boxing all over the channel grid. If they happen to come across a fight, maybe they'll watch it if they recognize one of the fighters. But a casual would probably have taken one look at the 'huge crowd' watching the fight on Saturday afternoon and changed the channel or turned the TV off figuring it would be a nothing fight.
